Tippmann Sports is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2006. The company, originally a manufacturer of collectible, half-scale machine guns, entered the paintball industry in 1986 when new gun laws forced Tippmann to reevaluate its business. At the time, the company’s founders were concerned paintball was just a passing fad. However, it seemed like a natural transition because paintball markers shared many principles with the machine guns Tippmann was manufacturing at the time. Those involved were unaware the move into paintball would eventually catapult Tippmann into an industry-leading name, which would become synonymous with high performance paintball markers and related accessories. http://www.warpig.com/newswire/prwire_releases/1145359635560 .shtml Edited by >><< - 20 April 2006 at 6:36pm |

its one of those things that sit on something collecting dust as a memorabilia- they should of made like a remake of their first gun, but a little bit better, and priced normal, so people would buy it

I think it's cool, but I agree about the whole price thing. I bet it will be out the roof. I think the audience that they are trying to sell this to is the people that collect markers, not people who are going to go out and play with it regularly. Especially, not with it being gold plated and all.

Not really interested at all in owning that gun. They just took a 98 and made it shiny, slapped on a few 20th anniversary decals, and gold plated some parts (completely pointless). looks like a waste of money to me. I think Tippmann could have came up with something better to do instead.

thats alot for a 98c considering they go for about 130, if they hit what the a5 costs, for it to just sit on a stand that would be kinda high |
